This weekend, in the Jornadas de Cómic y Manga de Leganés (Leganés comic con), I met again with the wonderful and awesome Henar Torinos, a marvelous artist and a very charmful woman.

I'm a big fan of her work, so it was a real pleasure to have this fanart exchange made, she made this beautiful drawing of my character on the Leganés comic con, and I made this other of Mala Estrella (Bad Star) at home a little time ago.

What does "Human Being" actually mean? Where's the frontier between man and machine, when mechanical parts can be used to enhance or mend a broken body? If our mind, our conscience and our memories are recorded like software files and implanted in a machine, which then will have feelings, emotions and fears... Does it all make it human?

The first step is to erase the pencil and strenghten the black of some lines. After that, it's coloring time, beginning with the background, and then defining the characters. At the end I though it would look cool that Thor had war paint all over his face, so I apply it to him, with a touch of acrylic and anilines.

I decided to do a little illustration about the Norse Gods Thor and Loki, and when it is finished, it will be in colour, but right now I'll show you what's currently done: pencils and inks.

The character desing it's loosely based on the watercolor sketch I uploaded the other day (HERE), and I tried to stay true to the face and body of the two siblings, and the hammer, Mjöllnir, but adding clothes and armor this time.

I wanted to do a composition that occupied the whole page, but at the same time let some space and allowed the image to breath, so I stuck with this one, making the spear balance the whole.

I began sketching with a pencil, blackening lines and adding more detail with mechanical pencils, and then worked the inks, first brushes, from the thickest one to the thinnest, and adding more detail with thebrush pens and drawing pens. My usual inking method is going inwards, from the outmost lines, the fattest ones, to the inside, diminishing thickness. It works for me...

And after all of this, let the ink dry by itself. In other session we will erase the pencils and give color to the illustration.
